Bio Snippets for Social Media

I write crime thrillers and creepy things while surviving on caffeine and dark humor.

Interest in Participating in Panels or Story Time

I do not want to speak on a panel but am using this area to send more information since I don't see anywhere else to do so. As mentioned above under "Hill of Bones," I should have the cover and ISBN assigned soon. If you need something immediately, I do have a third book already published, "Little Jar of Teeth: Dark Stories to Keep You Up At Night" (ISBN 979-8-9889438-4-6) that I could use instead. I would, however, prefer to have all three Tess Dane books at the sale as they are all part of a series. Please let me know what you would like me to do. Thank you for your time and consideration.
